3. **Food Industry**: In food applications, it can be added during the production process. The amount added depends on the type of food product. For example, in oils and fats, a concentration of 0.01% - 0.1% can be effective in preventing oxidation. In processed foods, the dosage should be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the food and relevant food safety regulations.
1. **Cosmetic Case**: A well - known cosmetic brand incorporated L-(+)-Ergothioneine into their anti - aging serum. After a clinical trial with 100 participants aged between 35 - 55 years old, they found that after 8 weeks of using the serum twice a day, 80% of the participants reported a visible reduction in fine lines around the eyes and forehead. The skin also appeared more hydrated and elastic.
2. **Nutraceutical Case**: A group of athletes started taking a dietary supplement containing L-(+)-Ergothioneine. After a 12 - week period, they showed improved recovery times after intense training sessions. Blood tests also indicated a lower level of oxidative stress markers compared to before taking the supplement.
3. **Food Industry Case**: A food company added L-(+)-Ergothioneine to their vegetable oil - based salad dressing. They stored the dressing at room temperature for 6 months and compared it with a control sample without the additive. The dressing with L-(+)-Ergothioneine showed no signs of rancidity, while the control sample had developed an unpleasant odor and taste due to oxidation.
